The house was in a decent spot. The driveway was a bit difficult to find when arriving after dark, suggest arriving in the daylight. The house itself was good if a bit quirky. The bed in the primary bedroom was raised 4' off the floor and the ladder was inside of a closet that was difficult to open. The pillows were flat and provided little support, suggest bringing your own if you like neck support. This was the case for all the bedroom. Lots of space provided with the multiple bunk beds and would be good for a large group. The kitchen was narrow and didn't fit more than one person comfortably.
